May everyone's Christmas be Merry and Bright, even when it can seem to be a little dim because of the absence of loved ones. Christmas is a season of love and giving, because God gave us THE BEST PRESENT,.....the birth of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Grief is sometimes defined as LOVE with NO PLACE TO GO! We also know that the love that we have for our lost loved ones remains in our hearts and it never dies. So let us celebrate & remember them, and also remember to give a little love at Christmas! Remember the REASON for the SEASON! BE BLESSED EVERYONE!
